How thorough would the destruction be? Can recovery tools be used to recover logs?

If the destruction was complete, there will be no evidence that pirated files were on the computer even if they did exist or not. Also what about false positives?

You should be able to go to the ISP and get a log of the last IP packets sent to the machine before the destruction of the data and trace the IP back to the sender.

But you will know who is responsible because they are supposed to warn you first before they do something like that.

New Heh...you put too much faith...
...in the magnanomosity[sic?] of these vermin. What was the line from one of our members' sigs?: "Man never does anything so gleefully that in the name of Religion"...or something like that. To actually expect such vermin to follow the rules is to truly view the world through rose colored glasses.

And what makes you think that an ISP would give you "a log of the last IP packets sent to the machine before the destruction" anyway? Don't you think that the law enabling such destruction would be written to 1) indemnify anybody delivering the payload, including ISPs and 2) prohibit the deliverers from identifying the source of the payload.

It's the 21st century, Norm. Please try to catch up....
